There's been two fatal crashes within 12 hours this week on Hunter roads.
A 59-year-old man from Mayfield died yesterday morning when his Toyota Camry crossed to the wrong side of Lake Road, Glendale, hitting a fence and sign post.
He was taken to the John Hunter Hospital but couldn't be revived.
Investigations are continuing.
Meanwhile, the teenage learner rider killed in a motorcycle accident at Medowie on Wednesday night has now been named as 17-year-old Corey Pethebridge.
The budding sportsman represented Irrawang High School in lawn bowls and recently trialed with the Sydney Roosters junior rugby league side.
The latest fatalities have taken the Hunter's road toll for 2016 to 50.
